I am not ashamed of this gospel of Christ; for it is We power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. _—Roil. 1:16. Paul was commissioned of God to carry the light of the Gospel to the Gentiles. .Iris first head- quarters was Antioch, the hub of Syria. Then it was Ephesus, the center of operations in Asia Minor and eastern Europe; and finally, ]Rome, the metropolis of the world. Rome was capital of the last great world empire. Its mighty armies even conquered. Briton. But the power of 12olue did not daunt Paul for the message of the Gospel of Christ was more powerful yet. It 'would not destroy but save every- one who would trust ill Christ. :fatal was unashamed of such a Gospel. Ile longed for the oppor- tunity of placing its banner at the heart of the empire. Paul did not know that he would go to Rome as a prisoner. When a group of Christians learned of his ,Corning, they went down the road about forty miles to meet hirer: "Whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage." The thoughtfulness on _ the part of the :utile band in Rome did much to Ulp Paul. 1f we would just re- member that little gets of kindneea tan have great significance, we would do more of them. Paul had written in his letter to floe Romans, "We know that mh things work together for good to A ern that love God". 2:28. Now be :lead a chance to prove it. He alma mllowed him own hired house where Hen Adopts Guinea ]Pigs--Bettyane Robb kneels down to feed her motherly pet hen who act a busy biddy these days. The hien has adopted 20 full-grown guinea pigs and treats them as she would her own brood of chicks. he could receive all who came. He preached the Gosj el. Later he wrote from prison to the Church at Phil- ippi, "I would ye should under- stand, brethern, that the things which happened unto nae have fallen out rather unto the ,furtherance ,of the gospel; so that ray bonds ars manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; and many of the brethern in the Lord, wasting con- fident by my bonds, are much mor* bold to speak the word without )fear." You can't lone, being a Christian.

A Railway lame: Run By Clxalclen One of the world's most popular railroads doesn't connect any cities, has only a single track, and runs little more than two miles, Yet, despitd these disadvantages which would bankrupt any other line, hundreds of persons, including visitors from all over the world, flock every day to its main terminal on Szechenyihegy hilltop above Budapest to take a ride. On the Hungarian railroad called Uttoro Vasut, Pioneers' Railroad, in Eng - '69h, the employees, rather than the right-of-way, arcoltnt for its popu- larity. Prospective passengers uuy their tickets, which cost one forint (about 16 cents), from a young lady who still counts sums higher than five on .her fingers. While waiting for 'rhe next train, they peer through the windows of, the dispatcher's of- fice to watch a freckle -faced lad wearing his first pair of long trousers, past of a spruce blue -gray unifortrt, tap out messages on a tr'legrapber's key. On the platform, the stationmaster., a pigtailed blonde, signals the traiat to start. Budapest's children's railroad, which opened. in 1947, is run en- tirely by youngsters between the Ages of nine and 14. Boys and girls Alike, they handle every job—sell- Ing tickets, working as conductors, y telegraphers, and stationmasters; operating signal towers, coupling sod uncoupling locomotives and mtmra, And even selling candy and tiottvenir post Bards aboard the, trtsin. The only adults besides the pas- erngors, are the niers who drive the liwo blue-and-whltc Diesel-powere,l lnrotraotives am'd a pAtionty, soft.. spoken man named Ferenc Nemeth, who keeps a fatherly eye on the "employees." A veteran of 1.4 yea,rs on the T-l.ungarian railways, Nemeth says the children are the best workers he's ever seen. The locomotives and car-,, rough- ly two-thirds of standard size, are exact replicas of full-sized trains, right down to baggage racks and high-pitched whistles. There's a pic- nic grouted at the end of tine wood- ed, scenic, two-mile route. Burapest children try out for jobs on the railroad by attending two weeks of classroom training during which they learn all the fundamentals of railroading—teleg- raphy, signals, mechanics and ticket•. selling. There's also a post office at each of the three stations along the line, so the children are also taught how to sell stamps and di- rect letters. Only the best students get jobs on the railroid. They work six hours every day for a momth, bete ting their lunches free. Their ,jobs change every day, so that each child gets all-round knowledge of the l'ane's operations. They also learn hour to use and respect authority; today's stationmaster may be to- morrow's candy merchanft.

At that time beetles were the only pollinating I nmects, The rrnodern descendants of these original flowering plants—the mag- nolias and their .relatives—are still pollinated by beetles. The magno- lrs are composed of numerous, apirally wranged, colorless petals, stamens ,and meed -bearing organs. Unlike bees, beetles do not stick to one variety of. plant. Probably the earliest flowering plants were insufficiently pollinated and prob- ably they did not reproduce abund- antly. All this changed when bees ap- peared at the beginning of the Ter- tiary period, about; 60,000,000 years ago. Bee pollination is more effi- cient than beetle pollination. With bees doing the pollating•, flowers tended to develop petals in 'rhe form of a deep tube or cup, with nectar stored at the base. This relieved the plant of the burden of producing excess pollen and num- crous stamens, the flower's pollen - bearing organs. Since bees habitu- ally land on flowers when they suck nectar or ,gather pollen, the flowers tenet to form the lower petals into a long lip to serve as a "landing platform." The color of the flowers was af- fected too. Bees can see blue or yellow, but they are color-blind for red. Worst flowers that attract bees, therefore, are some shade of blue or yellow or a mixture of these two colors. So the� pp, arancv of many flow - err, today keolor, shape and sym- metry of petals and number of sta- mens) is an evolutionary adapta- tion. Plants developed tubular flow- ers, reduced the number of stamens and concealed nectar at the base, where itis .available to the long - tongued bees but not to the beetles. The tubular petals carried out a screening process which gradually eliminated the visitg•'of beetles to many flower.; and favored the iisits of hee�. Use Live Stea,1x1. As A Cooler Use. of lieu steam to cool fresh vegetables seems a paradox, but the method, based ort well known physical laws ingeniously applied, has been used commercially by Califuruia lettuce shippers for more than a year and tested by the De- partment of Agriculture. Vege- tables can be cooled evert after they have been packed in plastic 'bags. Bulk containers of vegetables are placed in an airtight metal cham- ber and the loading opening is to sealed High-pressure steam creates a vacuum and sucks the air out of the cooling chamber. Water evapor- ates from the surface and tissues of the vegetables. Changing the water from the liquid to the vapor form requires heat. This is drawn. from the vegetables within the chamber and regnitq ill their quick cooling. Back in 1907 a saran went to Washington as Senator from Min- nesota. His name was Knute Ne1- Ron, and his favorite cutting was bean soup. He liked bean soup *.very weekday and Sundays as we'1; and when he found that the Sen- ate Restaurant didn't serve this deli- cacy, he made a terrific squawk. So before long it appeared on the Menu, What's more, it has been ap- pearing there every single day for almost 34 years, just because thousands of others, besides Mr, Nelson, went for it in a big way. "Famous Senate Restaurant Beare Soup" is the way it's always listed; and it has probably been eaten by more noted people than any other :single dish. Perhaps you'd like to know how to make it. Here is the recipe as handed out by Paul Johnson, the restaurant's heart waiter for half a century. _ FAMOUS BRIAN SOUP 3 lbs. small navy pea beans 1%z lbs. smoked ham hocks 1. onion 4 quarts water A little butter Salt and pepper ME'T'HOD: Take three pounds of small navy beans, wash and run through hot water until the beans are white again.

And when you take INaTANTiND, the relief is prolonged because INSTANTwn contains not one, but three proven medical ingredients. These three ingredients work together to bring you not only fast relief but more prolonged relief.
